Skin – Allergies/Itching

APOQUEL

APOQUEL is a revolutionary prescription medicine that stops allergic dog itch—right at the source. So your best friend doesn’t have to suffer one minute more!

WHY DOES MY DOG ITCH SO MUCH? There are lots of reasons why your four-pawed friend may be itching. It could be that your dog is allergic to food, or fleas, or even ingredients in commonly used products like shampoo. It could also be atopic dermatitis, an inflammatory skin disease associated with allergies to pollens, molds, and dust mites.

No matter what allergies are causing your dog’s itch, it can be irritating and disruptive. You just want to help your dog.

You may have tried to calm the itch with home remedies such as oatmeal baths or over-the-counter topical medicines. But even though these remedies may provide some temporary relief from that annoying itch, they don’t really get to the underlying cause.

CYTOPOINT

CYTOPOINT is an innovative new therapy that targets itch at its source to help relieve the signs of atopic dermatitis in dogs for a month or longer with a single injection.

How does CYTOPOINT help reduce itch and allow damaged skin to heal? CYTOPOINT is different from traditional drugs that treat itch. It is a biological therapy—a type of non-pharmaceutical treatment that works like your dog’s immune system. CYTOPOINT contains engineered antibodies very similar to natural dog antibodies. Antibodies are what an animal’s immune system uses to defend the body against infection or disease.

Is CYTOPOINT safe? In a clinical study, dogs receiving CYTOPOINT injections had no more side effects than dogs who received placebo injections (injections with no treatment at all). CYTOPOINT is safe to use in dogs of any age, and can be used with many other commonly used medications and in dogs with other diseases.

Because CYTOPOINT is a biological therapy and not a drug, it is naturally broken down and recycled by the body. It is not eliminated from the body via the liver or kidneys like most pharmaceutical drug products. This is one of the reasons CYTOPOINT can be a safe choice for your dog.
